Well, after looking at the axles a little more closely, the positioning brackets are welded to them. I thought the were just bolted. I guess that idea won't work; plus, Allen brings up a good point. That 4" doesn't seem like much but when youv'e already got a top-heavy load... Anyway, what if I were to take the duals off and go to a wider set of singles? That would still give me increased lateral stability but eleminate having the duals hitting the outer frame of the trailer. It currently has 215/85-R16's (16x6 rim) on it. How wide could I go? I do have an extra set of 16x6.5 rims with 235/85-R16's on them that I could probably use. What do you guys think would be the best size of tire to use??? Thank you for your help!!!
